Out running today, a bit wet I must say and also a _bit_ mud. Our neighbors has done their share of forestry work as well, pretty wet conditions which again has caused the forest road to be just a sea of mud. All up to my knees sometimes when trying to run there, needs a warm summer day or two to dry up…
…testing new kitchen utensils, cookware and such. What a great day to try the new small saucepan to melt butter, in order to make svele. And to make svele we needed to try out the new “steketakke” for the first time.
They are now finished, now all that remains is to get the timber out to where it should be picked up. Actually they did finish last Tuesday, pictures from Wednesday when me and the kids took a walk to check out the new view. But first, Iver had to get a close look at this icicle.
Close to Vanntårnet, the watertower.

The other way, looking up the road towards Vanntårnet.

Heavy equipment gathering around our old barn here the other day. Two forestry machines, two diggers and trucks.
While out running today I did check out the current status of the forestry work. They have now started cutting in Steindalen, the first part is very easy accessible.
Had to promise my kids that we should not cut down this three

Picture taken today just outside our front door.
Been pretty close this one
Before finishing the floor I had to grind it to level it as much as possible. Pretty straight forward apart from the wastewater splashing on the walls, but after covering them it was no issue.
Took a walk earlier today. up to where the forestry machine is currently working, Bjønnemyra. Did post a picture from my preparations earlier this year “Logging preparations – the forest road” The picture below is taken today at almost the same spot
Here are some more “before” pics, from the first they when the machine started logging.
Then later, when home they did call me and asked if I could help them out with one big tree, a great Norwegian spruce to big for the forestry machine to safely cut down. Simply because this particular machine is the smallest one, not suited for threes of that size. And since that being the only one here, it was not a problem until the last day.
I did cut while the machine used the crane to make sure that the three did not fall in the wrong direction. I must admit that I feared that I had to do it all by myself, while the professionals where watching…
